Problems affecting a tree’s roots aren’t always easy to see. But changes in the tree itself — or even the conditions in the surrounding area — can be a sign that it’s time to take a closer look below ground.
Generally speaking, you’ll want to consider having your trees evaluated for air spading if you notice:
You don’t necessarily need to know what’s happening below ground before calling for help. An AKA Tree Service arborist can evaluate the tree and surrounding site, identify potential root-zone problems, and determine whether air spading is an appropriate next step.

Some of the most important factors affecting air spading costs include:
